H.R. No. 119



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, John M. Sangree of Boy Scouts of America Troop 40 in 
Houston has met the demanding qualifications required of those 
seeking the rank of Eagle Scout; and
	WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant 
honor, bestowed on only a fraction of those who enter the scouting 
movement; a member of the Order of the Arrow, Mr. Sangree has earned 
the requisite 21 merit badges, successfully completed a service 
project to benefit the community, and served with distinction as 
senior patrol leader of his troop; he also participated in the 
demanding "Iron Man" backpacking trek at Philmont Scout Ranch; and
	WHEREAS, This notable young man recently graduated in the top 
10 of his class from St. Thomas High School, where he was president 
of the drama club, conductor of the marching band, and a member of 
the National Honor Society, the freshman football team, and the 
tennis team; balancing his dedication to extracurricular pursuits 
with a comparable commitment to scholarly endeavors, he has earned 
a host of academic medals and scholarships and the prestigious 
Principal's Achievement Award; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to participating in scouting and school 
activities, Mr. Sangree has volunteered his time to St. Rose of Lima 
Catholic Church, teaching religious confirmation classes; and
	WHEREAS, The rank of Eagle Scout is attained by few 
individuals, and through his outstanding effort and commitment, Mr. 
Sangree has proven himself worthy to join the ranks of scouting's 
elite; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate John M. Sangree on attaining the 
rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for 
continued success and happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Sangree as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                           Bohac

	I certify that H.R. No. 119 was adopted by the House on 
February 10, 2005, by a non-record vote.
